PFAS water test results from Japanin May & June, 2024
The following sets of results provided by Cyclopure show the extent of PFAS
contamination at 39 locations throughout Japan. Some municipalities andprefectures are waking up to the very real threat posed by these chemicals while
the Japanese government is slow to enforce limits.
Just 1 part per trillion of many of these chemicals in surface water may pose athreat to our health because these forever chemicals bio accumulate in aquatic life.
Testing in the sea or in open tidal rivers have been shown to produce very lowresults. Many of the compounds tend to bind to sediment while the prevailingcurrents and the tide at the outfall may take the chemicals out to deeper waters.
The chemicals never go away.
The contaminated water is just one part of the equation that comprises all PFAS
pathways to human ingestion. The banks of the rivers and the streams are cakedwith the carcinogens. The sun bakes the sediment, and the wind lifts the particles
into our lungs and our homes. The soil produces poisonous food we consume. We
are in trouble when our governments fail to recognize the problem and refuse totake the necessary steps to protect human health.
A city’s name and postal code are followed by results for PFOS, PFOA, and TotalPFAS. (Disregard the yellow highlight.) Locations appear in alphabetical order.
The results are followed by Google Maps images of the testing location.
